The Garden City Library has recently received the “Children & Teen Book Enhancement Project” grant and the “KUED Mini Reading” grant. We received over 100 books for toddlers through young adults that will greatly enhance our library collection and patrons reading selections. Funds for the “Children and Teen Book Enhancement Grant” were provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Serviced and Technology Act and were administered by the Utah State Library Division.
Along with that, the “KUED mini grant” allows the library to host a reading marathon through the month of November. Children 5 years old through 8th grade are encouraged to participate by reading 20 minutes each day for the entire month. The Garden City Library hosted a read-athon on November 2nd, where children and parents could get comfortable, read, and eat sandwiches. At the end of the reading marathon, the library will host another event on December 8th for those who participated in the month program.
